FEDEX GOES 82-6 ON THE YEAR

THE SWISS EXPRESS IS GOING TO MOTOR THRU 2004 WITH ONLY A LOSS IN A CLAY CT MASTERS- A LOSS @ THE FRENCH - A LOSS @ A HD CT MASTERS - A LOSS @ THE OPEN @ A LOSS IN THE DAVIS CUP. = ONLY 6 - HE'LL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THE YR END MASTERS. :twisted:

McEnroe went on that year to what John Barrett of the BBC called the most perfect Wimbledon two-weeks he'd ever seen. McEnroe demolished Connors in straights at both Wimbledon and later Lendl at the Open. Against Connors, he won 1,1, &amp; 2; Lendl 3,4,1.

I agree that it's going to be nigh on to impossible to equal McEnroe's 84. But, if Federer can maintain his current level, it's possible.

Ya Kevin, I love that site. Didn't Safin win more than 80 one year too? This year, I see Fed more like 85-10 or something. Still insane, but it's very possible. If he could go more than 80 wins and under 10 loses, I would be scared, that would be great, and I would love it all.

sorry for the bump, I was looking for something else and found this. funnily enough, federer did in fact go 74–6 in '04 and the prediction is pretty badass considering he lost once at a clay masters (rome, as predicted), once at RG (predicted) and once in cincy (also predicted).

the 2 other losses came from miami (1st match vs nadal) and berdych (olympics) instead of us open & davis cup.

Has any other player won more than 80 matches in one year, within the past decade other than Kafelnikov? I think Yevgeny won like 82 matches in '96, the year he won RG.

Vilas wonders if anyone will sniff his 145 wins in a single season, including two slams in '77. Ironically, he finished as world #2 to a slam-less Connors, who he bageled in the 4th set to win the USO.
